Just Because.......


Just because "daddy" ain't in my life don't mean I'll commit a felony Just because I am a Filipina don't mean I want to be a registered nurse Just because my arms and thighs don't fit in society's eyes don't mean I'm unhealthy Just because I have veins "seeping" through my skin don't mean I am a senior citizen Just because I am loud and wild don't mean I am from the cave-man age Just because I have been raised in a strict Catholic household don't mean I am a saint Just because I own luxurious items don't mean I am spoiled Just because I was born and raised in America don't mean I am rude Just because I don't talk back to those who hurt me don't mean I am weak Just because.... Just because..... Just because I am Monica, don't give you a damn right to JUDGE me.
